In consequence, the REGENT again delayed his departure, and reports wet e mole to his Royal Highotss, every half hour, on the state of his afflicted parent. " The warm bath was again resorted to, and by almost constant application some little amend ment took place towards t we've o'clock ; and his _Royal Highness having conferred some time with Henry H.tkord, set oil for Carlton house, nhont half-past t‘velve.

" Up to seven this night her Majesty continued in a state of great suffering and debility, and there was every reason to apprehend a still worse n'ght than the preceding ones.

But the detection of a corres pondence with people at these places, and having reference to Buonapnrte's liberation, certainly lays just ground for imposing more rigorous re- Itrictions, and adopting more strict precautions on our part, if we think them necessary. THE ACT OF INSOLVENCY. FOIL THE SUS. Ma. ErWrog,--1 really wish your Correspond ents, who increase, and write so touch against the malpractice of the Insolvents' Court, would carry their complaints before the Gentleman who pre sides there ; and not covertly before the public, in this reputable Paper. since, instead of correct ing an alleged grievance, they irritate the minds of many, about they know nut what, and known or imagined only by themselves. Remove the cause of evil, and evil, as an effect, trill cease ; but par, , c-rc to spread an alarm, without point ing out the specific objects of danger, is like a beaten drum, all noise without, and emptine,s within ; or it is lucre smoke, without the appear ance of file ; non jumurn ex folgore. To point out corruptions and misfeasances, whether produced by a loose state of morals, WI - gralley, or want, is certainly invidious. The crookedness of practice is most nototions when compared to tie ride of right; and to see the clearness of The spring raises the strongest satire against those who pollute it. This tray be ap plied in some sense to all Lotman intercourse. Alankind in every situation complain, more or less, of eve!) other's ways, and are alike com plained of. So creditors, in proportion to their disappointment, vociferate vindictively against debtors, forgetting that they often exchange their characters. Creditors of to-day become debtors to-morrow, and each are in arrear at the same (init. Those, also, who are discharged ur►rler Bankruptcy or Insolvency become creditors rind debtors again. This entitles them to their mutual mercy ; but unhappily, like rogues, the greatest call names first ) and throw brick bats at the heads of the least. Is there less iniquity carried into effect among the parties and their agents in the Insolvents' Court, base as it is, than in the Courts of «'est• bluster Hall? Let your Correspondents alisvrer this if they can. It is true there are not a Priddle, a Potter, an Aylet, a Crossby, or a Vaughan, of noted names to disgrace them ; but much is it to be feared many are in practice equally worthy of censure and chastisement. Debtors in confinement are discharged or re manded according to their deserts ; and nothing is lamented but the mode, under this complex and troublesome Statute. It is this very Statute, and not tl►e cases, that is objectionable; and no thing but its repeal or amendment can work a cure. The Legislature meant it as a benefit; but like an over portion of poison in medicine for a dropsy, it kills and does not relieve; agrescitque medendo. To be well is to keep out of the Court, which is as full of evil as Pandora's box, without its contents at the bottom. Exeat aula qui cut ease plus, In short, to alter the ways of men, however they may be restrained from evil, and the amount be diminished, is vain. It is to embrace a cloud, an d i t i s as v a i n as it would be to expect a reform of the works of an unerring Con ; to give a se cond birth to nature, or a union of the poles. We must therefore submit, and take the ways of men, and the things of the world, as we find them ; pursuing thegond for the sake of goodness, and avoiding the' evil with abhorrence. IVO7I ignara male miseris succurrere disco. A SON OF"rtir. ow BARRISTER. [,horning Post.] yesterday announced the arrival of dispatches from St. Helena, containing important informa tion relative to Buonaparte, which, as it regarded a plot to effect the escape of the Ex-Emperor, na tio-ally occupied the attention of all the Cabinet Ministers in Town doting; the greater part of Sunday. lo the course of yesterday the most ex travagant and unfounded rumours were circulated upon the subject : some stated that Buonaparte Was dead, others that he had been liberated, and that Sir Hudson Lowe had perished ; that 800. naparte had effected his escape on board an Ame rican vessel in the disguise of a man-cook ; and last, though not least, that in conserpience of a mutiny among the troops, Sir Hudson Lowe had deemed it expedient to send Buonaparte home on hoard the Mosquito sloop of war, which arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday. These rumours, alike ridiculous and mischievous, we have to pro nounce altogether unfounded in fact, We can positively assure the public, that every thing re mained perfectly tranquil at St. Helena ; and that at the date of the last advices Buonaparte conti nued in safe custody and in good health. The substance of the dispatches is, that a correspond ence, having for its object the escape of 13uona parte, has been intercepted by Sir Hudson Lowe. This correspondence proves the existence of a communication between the island of Sr. Helena and certain persons resident at Home, Paris, and Munich ; but beyond these general facts nothing further has been suffered to transpire. Report says that certain persons in this country are like wise implicated in the plot—a statement which seems in some degree sanctioned by ;he fact of the Attorney and Solicitor Generals having been consulted by the Cabinet Council which sat upon the dispatches on Sunday. The communication is sail to have been so ingeniously arranged and carried on, that Buonaparte WEIS apprized of all the steps that were taking for his liberation.—To attempt to rescue Buonaparte, or effect his escape, is made a capital offence by the Act of the 56th of the present reign, chap 22, from which the fol lowing, is an extract : " And lie it further enacted, That if any person or persons, being a subject or subjects of or owing ;Allegiance to his Majesty, his heirs or successors, shall rescue or attempt to rescue the said Napoleon Bnonaparte, or shall knowingly and wilfully aid or assist in the escape of the said Napoleon Buonaparte, or in any attempt to escape from such custody as aforesaid, or from any limits or bounds wherein he now is or at any time hereafter shall or may he detained and kept in custody as aforesaid, or in which be shall or may be suffered to go at large within the limits of any island or country, ter ritory or place, or within the limits of any district or hounds within any island or country, territory or place, upon parole or without parole, all and every such person and persons so offending, shall upon being convicted thereof he adjudged guilty of felony, and Shall suffer death as in cases of felony, without benefit of clergy." [The Times.] The curiosity which was excited by tl►e arrival of the Mosquito from St. Helena at Portsttiontl►, and the summoning of a Council as soon a possi ble atter her Captain reached London, may be esteemed as sub►iding. We did not, at first, ex cite our Headers to expect that there was much in the affair, and subsequent observation confirms tl►e prudence of treating it with coolness. The arrival of the vessel, the temporary prohibition of her having any communication with the land, aml the wild surmises to which these circumstances gave birth at Portsmouth ► nre in part known. One Correspondent gravely concluded from. them, that Buonaparte was dead, and that his body was on board tl►e Musquito : a mighty inference from such premises certainly ! But the real truth we 61161)CCI to he, the detection of some corespon dence, having for its object, if it should ever come to a conclusion, the release of the prisoner. That some project, intended to frustrate our care in this respect, lots been detected, we have rea son to suppose tw►n the bustle at Lord Bathurst's office, as well as other causes : hut a project, the exhtence of which is natural enough, is, us we hinted above, at a great distance from its com pletion : the conspirators or rather tl►e projectors TIIFATRICAL REGISTER.

" At the approach of the last liquidation it was remarked, that the operations of several specula tors at the Stock Exchange had exceeded their means ; the settlements in consequence became difficult, and a conside . rabk fall took plaCe in the pike of stock. " Provisional measnres have been resorted to to ch'ec'k the evil, and definitive measures, which have been crowned with the happiest suc cess, have been adopted to prevent its recurrence. The [lank of France has, durinE: the whole petiod, discounted at GO days. The principal merchants, bankers, and capitalists ofyaris, have sponta- neously entered into a n engagement to purchase in ease of need severnl millions of rente. A sub scription was opened for this purpose, and im mediately tilled. The subscribers to the last Loans eagerly contributed to it. It results from every circumstance that the rente cannot stand upon a more solid basis.

This morning we received Halifax Papers to the 22t1 ult. The following are extracts : " ST. ANTIGUA, SEPT. 22.--From an early hour last evening it has been blowing a pretty smart gale ; the wind, although changing frequently, has been mostly N. N. W. and we have had less rain than is usual on these occa sions ; up to the time of going to Press (3 P. M.) it continued to blow very hard. and with increased violence ; two brigs and some sma'l schooners have been found on shore, and those %vim are laying at their anchorage seem to be labouring much. The injury s us t a i ne d i n town i s h ut trilling, and we are without any account hum the Interior of the Island. " SEPT. 29.—The gale which we noticed last Tuesday continued to blow with much violence all that night, and although it abated in the course of the next morning, it was not until a late hour in the day that it completely subsided. Twelve schooners and sloops, and three brigs, vi.ere driven on shore during the gale. A great num ber of other vessels that were in the harbour rode Out the gale."
